You Are Invited To The Yoga Experience Of A Lifetime…
Dear Yogi,
Are you ready for yoga teacher training, but confused over the many options available?
If so, read on. It may just change your life… (not an exaggeration).
Choosing a yoga teacher training is one of the biggest decisions you make because it not only sets the course of your life and income potential as a teacher, it also sets the tone of your own practice for years to come…
So consider this…
Learning to teach students and share the gift of yoga is only a small part of yoga teacher training… The transformative experience of diving deep into the practice and history of yoga changes your life and the lives of those you touch along the way.
A full immersion of mind, body and soul… in the natural and spiritual essence of Thailand, learning directly from a master yogi, and creator of the Vikasa Yoga Method.
Imagine the smell of the ocean wafting into the open-air studio, practicing yoga on an island made of quartz, energetically and spiritually fuelled by the land and sea.
Imagine learning among practitioners who deeply love and live yoga in their lives, who are focused and committed to deep and profound change in themselves and the world.
Imagine focusing only on your practice, relieved of all responsibilities at home, finally finding the quiet and serenity to commune with your inner truth.
Imagine returning home, a certified yoga teacher, qualified to teach in any studio in town, and ready to create valuable and profitable Vikasa yoga workshops and classes…
…a unique practice few can teach and many will desire to learn.
Announcing a very special and unique 200 hour Vikasa yoga teacher training immersion at the stunning Vikasa Yoga Retreat in Thailand.
I founded Vikasa Yoga to help you open your path to fulfilment… apply the practice of asana and breath work… to deepen your spiritual understanding and commune with your deepest consciousness.
A certification in Vikasa Yoga is ideal for the new and the experienced teacher, yearning to deepen their own practice and diversify offerings for their students.

The depth of the spiritual and physical practice of Vikasa Yoga is for yoga practitioners who yearn for a more profound balance and closeness to their true essence.
We invite you to apply for this training if you:
- Are a serious student committed to the study of yoga.
- Wish to become a yoga teacher, differentiate and add to your yoga instruction skill set, or if you just want to dive into a deeper inquiry with yoga.
- Have a longing for immersion, in a 4 week all encompassing educational and spiritual guided program.
- Feel a connection or pull to experience the beautiful energy of Thailand.

WHO ARE THE TEACHERS?

KONSTANTIN MIACHIN
Course director, founder of Vikasa Yoga Academy
Kosta’s journey into yoga has taken him to the far reaches of the world, from remote Himalayan ashrams, to his initiation by a master monk in a sacred Sak-Yant ceremony in Thailand. Kosta has undergone extensive training and was certified with five different schools: Yoga 23, Sivananda Yoga, Mysore Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga, Andiappan Yoga and Universal Yoga and maintains close ties to many other yoga schools around the world. The vision for Vikasa Yoga was born upon realization that the deeper dimension of yoga is a spiritual journey and a conscious evolution of the individual. Seeing this as the ultimate human endeavor, he committed his life to supporting others on this path.
RAM VAKKALANKA
Yoga Philosophy
The Philosophy classes during the teacher training program are taught by Ram Vakkalanka. Ram is a Sanskrit expert, Yoga philosopher, Sitar artist, Kirtan singer, keynote speaker and meditation instructor. Ram shares his deep knowledge of Sanskrit, Vedic sciences and philosophy, Nada Yoga, Kirtan and Meditation thru workshops, webinars, one-on-one sessions, lectures and talks as well as preservative media. Nine CDs and one DVD of Ram’s works have been released so far, with a book on its way. Ram travels in Canada, India, US, UK and Thailand, touching the lives of many people thru his teachings.
